In this episode, we discuss the first culture that is not an officially recognised country: Catalonia. It is the place where my guest Berta comes from. Having grown up in Tarragona  and studied in Barcelona, she knows this culturally rich region like the back of her hand.

Other than zooming in on Catalonia’s unique language and (food) traditions, we take a closer look at the independence wish of this corner of Spain. Where does it come from and how has it grown over the years? But also, what is its current status, five and a half years after the referendum was held. And what exactly happened on that 1stof October 2017 in Barcelona? Berta recounts in detail as she was there that day.
